PANAJI: Health Minister Vishwajit Rane has gone another controversy by taking unprecedented steps against the recommendation of the Public Public (GPSC) of the most senior recommendations at Goa Medical College (GMC) Jai Prakash Tiwari was appointed as the next dean.
Premier Staterun Health Institute.
Rane wondered the GPSC selection process by installing a dispute that Tiwari, who headed the GMC Nephrology Department, lost his seniority when he resigned from the hospital.
This post is currently held by Dr.
S M Bandekar, which is third in the seniority list after the Head of Pathology Dr.
Wiseman Pinto, in the capacity of the ad-hoc.
Bandekar also holds the position of the GMC medical supervisor.
In a three-page letter to the commission, Rane accused the president of the candidate chosen and resolved for posting deans based on “secret reports”.
He claimed that the personnel department did not tell GPSC that Tiwari had resigned from GMC and said that this needs to be treated as a break in service.
He was even attached to Tiwari to relieve his letter.
The Minister of Health further said the government’s order that gave Tiwari Lien in his position for two years was unacceptable.
Lien on a regular post, he said, was only allowed on the basis of health and did not facilitate someone to join other institutions.
Rane claims that Tiwari ignored his parent Institute, GMC, which the Nephrology department was also affected because he was the only nephrologist available at GMC.
He further said the Public Health Department had received Tiwari resignation.
“Lien which is given is illegal and must be treated as a break in the service …
(Tiwari) cannot be considered for ranking and seniority as number 1 when he lost seniority as soon as he resigned from government services,” Rane said.
He asked the commission to record the problem.
“Files like this, without the right information, cannot be approved by the government.
I, as Minister of Health, wants to note that this is unacceptable and information has not been provided by the Personnel Department to GPSC,” he said.
A senior GPSC official had previously told TII that the government could reject their recommendations “as long as there is valid justification and reasoning.
Our decision cannot be rejected.
The file comes to us last month, we have given our decision.”
